Okay, so you see this girl for the first time and you’re wondering how you will keep tabs and take it a step further!

This could be a lady you are meeting for the first time, someone that stays in your vicinity or one that you know but is just an acquaintance.

There are silly things guys do to get women to tell them their digits.

Yes, this is not something we are proud of and i will be telling you these things and why they don’t work.

I know this because i have done some in the past, and regret them till today!

1. GOING THROUGH HER FRIEND, TO DO YOUR WORK

Yes, the truth must come out. This is an old and childish way to get a lady’s number.

Why?

Because her friend is not who you are interested in, and you skipped the step of getting to know the lady first!

At most, her friend will talk about you (if she’s nice) and the main lady will be shocked about your proposal – because it came from nowhere.

Don’t let this move be your first, in fact don’t do this at all.

Using her friend as a sort of bait will only show how unserious you are about the whole thing.

2. COLLECTING HER NUMBER FOR AN INNOCENT/DECEPTIVE REASON

If this lady is someone that may be in the same setting as you – say workplace, school or rented apartment.

It is better to make your intentions clear, rather than telling her you want to flash a number with her phone – when you want something else.

Even if you get her number, how she responds to you may not change – especially if you are an acquaintance

3. ASKING SOMEONE RELATED TO HER FOR HER NUMBER

This might be the most common. Many guys do this, I’m guilty as well.

Ladies value privacy, and if you collect a woman’s number from someone else or lift it from somewhere – she will either block you or not fully respond to your message (if she’s nice)

Very bad first move!

4. ASKING BEFORE GETTING TO KNOW HER

Probably the most important point here, disbelief whatever jargons you may have seen in movies.

Not every woman just hands you her number on your first ‘ask’.

Many are usually startled, shocked or surprised when approached and asked for their digits – in some settings, this may be considered rude.

It is easier when there is some form of familiarity at the beginning.
